A memorandum of agreement recently signed between Mississippi University for Women''s online college, V3 College, and two Mississippi junior colleges has sealed a long-term partnership among the three institutions.

MUW agreed on a program with Jones County Junior College and Holmes Community College that will allow student technical fields to continue their studies uninterrupted by a switch from a two-year to a four-year school.

MUW has similar agreements with Mississippi Delta and East Mississippi community colleges.

The partnership will allow technical students to pursue a bachelor''s degree by taking courses online.

The courses will offer students the chance to earn a bachelor''s degree from home in 18 months.
